Trump pauses all US military aid to Ukraine days after Oval Office blowup with Zelensky as he issues shock ultimatum

President Donald Trump is putting a pause on all military aid to Ukraine and issuing an ultimatum to President Volodymyr Zelensky after their Oval Office meeting blew up on Friday.

The president had planned to meet with his senior advisors on Monday, according to the New York Times, where he will consider the future of Ukraine aid, even as European countries are discussing how to increase their support for Ukraine.

A White House official said Trump is focused on reaching a peace deal to end the more than three-year war sparked by Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine, and wants Zelensky 'committed' to that goal.

The official added that the U.S. was 'pausing and reviewing' its aid to 'ensure that it is contributing to a solution.' The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the assistance.

DailyMail.com has reached out the White House and the Department of Defense for comment.

Pete Hegseth was in charge of putting the pause into effect by Trump, the official said.

All military equipment not currently in Ukraine will be halted and all future aid is now in jeopardy.

The disruptive ending of Zelensky's meeting at the White House on Friday with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance has thrown all future aid to Ukraine into question after the Ukrainian president was asked to leave the White House after the meeting.

He should continue to send medical aid to help the wounded - emphasizing his desire for the fighting to stop

Time to turn that spigot OFF for a spell.
Old Joe has been using a Fireman’s Hose to spray and pay without a care. It wasn’t his money!

USAID money is already frozen—and Ukraine was getting billions.

Well, I think we can count on an Obama or Biden district court judge to order the military to transfer weapons to Ukraine.

#10: "It is time to send Z a horse's head."

I'd prefer if Mister Ed woke up with Z's head next to him.

It’s all for show. A liberal east coast judge will order Trump to give the dwarf his money.

wonder what our senators were planning to spend that money on. New mansions? Yachts? Also wondering if they have payments on existing mansions, yachts, private planes, that they now won’t be able to make.

It is a negotiation—something adults know how to do.

Children tend to think in terms of all or nothing.

The optimal solution, from day 1, has been Ukraine military junta running Ukraine who are Russia friendly.

No need for peacekeepers. The Junta can be purely technocrats. If NATO wants them, it can be discussed.

But in the most general sense, all these difficult problems are solved with a Russia friendly Ukraine military govt. The gas will flow thru Ukraine and the transit fee can fund rebuilding. Of course, the transit fee will be a % of the price the EU will have to pay for that gas, which will be arranged to be quite high, just under the price of LNG.
